By Dave Shirk
With one game left to be played in the Big Six National Softball League
we find the Wildcats with a two game lead over the rest of the teams in the
league. The Wildcats are sure of the first place position, having only the
Sooners in their pathway. The Cyclones overtook the Tigers for second

 

place. Et
The Cyclones have the “unlucky”
Jayhawkers to thank for their new

The Jayhawkers have moved Jayhawkers ................ 6 333 |:

the Sooners in the cellar.

Wildcats: The battery for the ‘Cats
was Art Lawrence doing the throw-
ing with Pitts behind the plate doing
the catching. The Wildcats with

their two game lead split their games | —

for this week. They won Monday
from the Cornhuskers 18 to 6, an
lost their game Wednesday to the.
fighting Jayhawkers by a score of 10
to 9.

Cyclones: The Clclones turned on
the wind to blow over the Sooners
and the Tigers, to take their new po-
sition as runner-up. The aroused
Cyclones won from the Sooners 17 to
16, and from the Tigers 20 to 7. The
battery for the Cyclones is none
other than Joe “Lefty” Wilkerson
with his fast ball, and Senter for his
. target behind the rubber.

Tigers: The Tigers seem to have |
lost their pep after losing a tight
game last week to the Wildcats by a
score of 18 to 15. This week the Ti-
gers have lost both game by large
margins, losing to the Jayhawkers by
a count of 7 to 10, and then losing a},
one-sided affair to the Cyclones 20
to 7. The battery for the striped cats |
was Ebelke pitching and “Blow” |
Blowey doing the catching.

Cornhuskers: The Cornhuskers are
holding on to fourth place with a
weaker team of only eight players.
In Monday’s game the Cornhuskers
lost their game to the Wildcats, even
with Doctor Allen and yours’ truly
playing. but came back Wednesday
with all eight players to beat the

 

day, July 24, is as follows:

The schedule of games for Mon-

Cornhuskers vs. Tigers.
Wildcats vs. Sooners.
Jayhawkers vs. Cyclones.

 

 

‘Sooners 10 to 6, without Allen and |

Shirk. The battery for the Corn- |

huskers was King pitching, and
Frink catching.
Jayhawkers: The Jayhawkers|

fight. In the last three games the)
‘Hawks have really been fighting,
winning all three games. One of the
chief factors to this sudden change
of the Jayhawkers standing in the
league is due to the fine pitching of
Harold Reade, coach at Shawnee
Mission High School. The Target
for his fast ball is Roberts, who is
rated as one of the best catchers in
the league this summer. The “Jays”
beat the Tigers 10 to 7 and the Wild-
cats 10 to 6 this week.

Sooners: The Sooners are in the
cellar, having lost 7 straight games.
This week they lost to the Cyclones
16 to 17, and to the Cornhuskers 6 to
10. The battery for the Sooners’
game Monday was Nash and Prit-
chard. In the game Wednesday we
find Capt. Masoner, coach at Garnett
High School, on the mound, but the
Sooners couldn’t break their losing
streak.
